MCPHERSON MG4.5XP HAWAIIAN KOA (SOLD)

This McPherson 4.5XP comes with the most stunning full Hawaiian koa we have ever come across over the past decade at the store.

Hawaiian koa blends midrange articulation with impeccable top-end overtones and chime. The more a koa guitar is played and opens up, especially an all-koa guitar, the more its midrange overtones shine in adding warmth and sweetness to a guitar's voice. The 4.5” McPherson body depth pairs very well with this dense tropical hardwood to ensures there is plenty of headroom and bass, resulting in a sweet and balanced sounding guitar that is more than just a looker.

Like all McPherson guitars, the guitar comes with a proprietary offset soundhole and a cantilevered neck which enhances the tone of the guitar by allowing the top of the guitar to vibrate freely. Within the soundhole, a series of braces are designed to arch just under the guitar topwood with minimal contact, allowing tonal vibrations to be maximized while providing for structural strength.

This consigned guitar is pre-owned but has been kept in immaculate condition by its consignee. It is as good as new and plays like a dream. Plugged in it reproduces an acoustically rich and balanced tone thanks to onboard LR Baggs electronics which have been specially tweaked to better complement each McPherson guitar.
